"very low average" miles per year are 10,000 to 12,000....
"normal low to average" miles per year are 12k to about 15k...
So if it's a 10 year old car, and has 90,000 miles on it, that's pretty darn good!
I had a toyota that had over 400k miles on it---the KEY is to MAINTAIN the vehicle with proper fluids---change the oil every 3000 miles. Check the oil every week. Ditto for tranny and other fluids.
BTW, I would NEVER EVER buy a "old" car (say 10+ years) that "ONLY" has 20k miles on it---that means it was never driven--a car has to be DRIVEN, have all the crud blown out, etc for it---that's like starting an engine filled with sludge.

Good luck.

Nissan makes a good vehicle---proper maintenance is the key.

Average mileage for cars per year is around 10,000 low 15,000 high. Figure 3000 miles per oil change (normally 4 a year) that’s 12,000 miles... if you want to know how far you can go with the car alot of it is what the wallet will allow. My brother has over 300,000 miles on his Toyota. Now we have rebuilt the motor once and the transmission twice. Put lots of breaks on her over the years as well as bearings and struts. But he keeps putting money in to it. It's more cost effective to put 500 bucks in it every 6 months then to pay 300 a month for a car payment. The body is still in great shape and he is looking to have it repainted in another 2 weeks. This will give him another lease on the life of the car. So maybe he will get another 200,000 on it. So it depends on what your wallet will allow.
